Introduction

Amber Valley is a local government district and borough, centrally located within Derbyshire, taking its name from the River Amber and has both urban and rural areas. The district was formed in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. The borough borders Bolsover and North East Derbyshire to the North, Derbyshire Dales to the West, South Derbyshire, Derby City and Erewash to the South and Nottinghamshire to the East.

Parts of Amber Valley have good transport links with easy access to the M1. The A38, A6 and A610 run through the borough, connecting neighbouring parts of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. There are 5 railway stations in Amber Valley, providing links to the major cities of Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield and beyond. There are good bus services within most parts of Amber Valley.

There are 4 main towns, Alfreton, Belper, Heanor and Ripley, along with 21 main villages.

Amber Valley has a rich industrial heritage in textiles (through Stutts Mills in Belper, which are part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site) and coal mining (now ceased). The borough has several larger employers in the sectors of construction, advanced manufacturing and food & drink manufacturing.¹

Florence Nightingale, who is well known for her nursing career and for making hospitals a cleaner and safer place to be, spent her summers at the family home in Amber Valley.²

Amber Valley has the most households of all the Derbyshire districts with 56,276, and the highest population of all Derbyshire districts with 127,709 residents. 17% of the population are aged 0-15 and 23% of the population are aged 65 and over, which is a higher proportion than the Derbyshire and England average. 25% of households have dependent children with 6% being lone parent households and 14% being lone pensioner households.

Amber Valley generally has a lower than average deprivation score, ranking 161 out of 326 English local authority areas (where a rank of 1 is the most deprived). Amber Valley is economically diverse, comprising relatively affluent areas along with areas within the top 20% of the most deprived in England with 8 out of the 78 Lower Super Output Areas (LSOA’s) falling within the top 20%, these areas are Ironville Riddings E (High Street), Ripley The Elms, Langley Mill W (Gregory Ave, Bailey Brook Drive), Somercotes (Alfreton Trading Estate, Leabrooks Road), Alfreton S (Ellesmere Ave, North Street, The Green), Langley Mill S (Station Rd, Lime Ave) Langley Bridge, Heanor (Ray Street, Broadway, Stainsby Ave) and Somercotes (Somercotes Hill, Springfield Crescent, Riber Ave) and fall within the Eastern corridor of the borough. Of these, 3 LSOA’s are in the top 10% of the most deprived in England (Ironville Riddings E (High Street), Ripley The Elms, Langley Mill W (Gregory Ave, Bailey Brook Drive).

Healthcare is delivered by a number of NHS services, primary care, and community-based services along with voluntary sector support. There are two Primary Care Networks (PCN’s), ARCH PCN which covers Alfreton, Ripley, Crich and Heanor and has 9 GP surgeries, and Belper PCN which covers Belper, Duffield and Horsley Woodhouse and has 4 GP surgeries. The main acute healthcare is provided by Royal Derby Hospital, however a number of residents in the northern areas of the borough utilise Kingsmill Hospital which is in Nottinghamshire and Chesterfield Royal Hospital. The borough is supported by East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS). Amber Valley is served by minor injuries units at Ripley Community Hospital (which also facilitates outpatient clinics and other services including physio and occupational therapy) with a further minor injuries unit and urgent treatment centre based in Ilkeston (Erewash). NHS services are shaped by the structure of the NHS and are adapted to local needs through the Joined-Up Care Derbyshire Integrated Care System (JUCD) (ICB) and local Neighbourhood Alliance, which focusses on place-based care.³

The upper tier local authority is Derbyshire County Council, with the tier two local authority being Amber Valley Borough Council. There are also town and parish councils throughout the borough. The borough of Amber Valley is covered by three parliamentary constituencies – Amber Valley, part of Mid-Derbyshire and part of Derbyshire Dales.⁴

Why is it important to Population Health?

Health inequalities are defined as unfair and avoidable differences in health outcomes between different populations or groups of people, such as how long we live or the age at which we get preventable diseases. Health inequalities are driven by wider (social) determinants such as education, employment, housing, financial status, social networks, food insecurity and the environment in which we are born, live and work. Wider determinants can have a positive as well as negative impact on our health outcomes, and our quality of life as well as the length of our life.

Health inequalities in Amber Valley are a concern. Life expectancy (for Amber Valley as a whole) is lower than the England average for males and significantly lower for females. Evidence suggests, however, those living in the most deprived areas (which includes parts of Alfreton, Somercotes, Riddings, Ironville, Heanor, Langley Mill, Aldercar and Ripley) have a significantly lower life expectancy than those living in the more affluent areas of the borough. There are also inequalities in healthy life expectancy. Those living in the most affluent areas have more years of life in good health than those in the most deprived areas.

Data from Public Health Outcomes Framework identifies the following indicators where Amber Valley is significantly worse than England and Derbyshire averages:

Life expectancy at birth (females)
Life expectancy at 65 (females)
Children in absolute low-income families
Children in relative low-income families
Percentage of physically active children and young people
Admission episodes for alcohol related conditions
Percentage of cancers diagnosed at stages 1 and 2
Percentage reporting a long-term musculoskeletal problem
Emergency hospital admissions due to falls
Chlamydia detection rate per 100,000 (aged 15 to 24)
HIV late diagnosis in people first diagnosed with HIV in the UK
Under 75 mortality rate from causes considered preventable
Under 75 mortality rate from liver disease
Emergency readmissions within 30 days of discharge from hospital

According to the 2021 Census, 19.9% of the population of Amber Valley have a disability which limits their day-to-day activities. 10.5% of the population provide unpaid care. Almost 20% of those in employment work in low level jobs.

Identified indicators along with local intelligence have informed the priority areas for action within the Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership. Addressing these areas at locality level will allow partners to work collaboratively and target resources and maximise reach to the communities with the greatest need, which in turn will reduce health inequalities and improve population health and wellbeing.

The Derbyshire Population Health Approach

The Derbyshire Population Health Approach focuses on prevention, population health, evidence-informed practices, causes, and collaboration. It emphasises proactive measures to prevent health issues, tailors interventions to specific populations, incorporates evidence-informed practices, addresses underlying causes, and promotes collaboration for effective action.

When considering Amber Valley within The Derbyshire Population Health Approach:

• Prevention

The Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership has a vision for a healthier Amber Valley where communities and individuals feel confident and supported to choose a healthy lifestyle and stay healthy.

The Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership have agreed four overarching priorities: Mental Wellbeing, Community Resilience, Prevention and Collaboration, with four areas of focus: Healthy Lifestyle, Healthy Ageing, Children & Young People and Financial Inclusion. Focussing on the wider determinants of health, the Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership works collaboratively with partners to deliver a range of targeted projects, taking an upstream approach in its preventative actions.

Healthy Lifestyle: ARCH PCN Wellbeing Drop-in sessions bring Amber Valley partners together to support the local population in five geographical areas. The project works in collaboration with partners to prevent long-term health conditions by delivering health checks, advice and linking residents to local groups; this empowers residents to take responsibility for their health and wellbeing. Proactive messaging is used to invite residents to the drop-in sessions. Residents who attend the sessions can gain advice and support from partners, including, Live Life Better Derbyshire (for blood pressure checks, and lifestyle advice, including smoking cessation, and weight management), Social Prescribers, physical activity providers, local housing providers, charities and local groups who support those with specific disabilities, financial inclusion, sexual health services, Derbyshire CAB, Derbyshire Carers and Age UK. BSL interpreters attend some of the sessions to support our Deaf communities.

Healthy Ageing: a project led by Age UK Derby and Derbyshire, in partnership with AV CVS is developing and promoting the healthy ageing agenda in one of the target areas of Amber Valley. The target area was identified using data and local insight. The project is gathering data and insight from local residents as to the needs and wants of the older population and aims to identify existing support and any gaps so that partners can work collaboratively to reduce social isolation in older adults across Amber Valley. A long-term plan for the development of healthy ageing initiatives in Amber Valley will be created.

Children & Young People: Taking a preventative approach, two projects were commissioned in Amber Valley – Blend Youth Project and Thrive Young People’s Social Prescribing enabling the expansion of mental health awareness, promotion of protective factors, early identification, early intervention and support for children & young people’s emotional health and wellbeing.

As part of the Move More Amber Valley Strategy, 8 primary schools (who were chosen based on criteria which included FSM eligibility) had the opportunity to take part in Zactive Workshops, led by Steele (from TV’s Gladiators). These workshops encouraged pupils to move more and lead a healthier lifestyle by emphasising the importance of hydration, healthy food choices, and self-kindness. The workshops were followed up with a health and wellbeing session which was run in partnership with the AV School Sports Partnership.

The Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership are looking to expand work with children and young people and physical activity and healthier lifestyles this year which will aim to prevent long-term conditions arising later in life and better equip children & young people with skills and knowledge to improve life chances.

The remit of the Children and Young People’s Sub-Group of the Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership is being developed to encompass additional partners and stakeholders to work together to improve overall health and wellbeing of children and young people in Amber Valley, which will include physical and mental health along with educational attainment and child poverty. Identifying issues and concerns, along with current provision and any gaps in provision within the Amber Valley communities inform future workstreams and collaborative work.

Financial Inclusion: Amber Valley communities have benefitted from projects that have assisted them to maximise their income, thus preventing them from getting into debt or financial crisis. Various projects have also worked with targeted communities to offer support and advice to those that are facing financial hardship. These projects have offered short-term solutions along with longer-term skills (such as budgeting, how to access low-cost food and life-long cooking skills).

A Worrying about Money leaflet was co-designed as a straightforward resource for residents. The step-by-step guide identifies local support services that are best placed to assist residents to maximise their income and assess any financial entitlements.

• Population

IMD 2019 data shows that whilst Amber Valley overall has a lower-than-average deprivation score, 3 Lower Super Output Areas (parts of Ironville, Ripley and Langley Mill) fall within the 10% most deprived in England. A further 5 areas (parts of Somercotes, Alfreton, Langley Mill and Heanor) fall within the top 20% of the most deprived areas in England. There are a further 13 areas that fall within the top 40% of the most deprived areas in England.

Data suggests that those populations in the most deprived areas have worse health and wellbeing outcomes than those in the least deprived areas which contributes to health inequalities. For example, those communities living in Somercotes and Alfreton have the worst life expectancy for females of all the Derbyshire Electoral wards.⁵

Amber Valley has the third highest rate of children living in poverty (18.1% living in absolute low-income families and 21.3% living in relative low-income families in 2023/24) in Derbyshire and this is getting worse.⁶

The Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership prioritises resources on reducing health inequalities by ensuring that funding and interventions are targeted to those populations that need it most (based on data and local insight), whilst being mindful that wider determinants of health affect (both positively and negatively) all populations, whether in areas of deprivation or affluence.

Based on data and insight, the ARCH PCN wellbeing drop-in sessions, which works with partners to prevent long-term health conditions, where communities can access blood pressure checks, healthy lifestyle advice and local support and advisory services, are held in strategic locations to enable all community members to attend, with specific population groups (based on health and demographic data) targeted for each session; this contributes to reducing health inequalities by providing a universal service, but with a greater focus on those who are more in need (proportionate universalism).

• Evidence

The priorities and areas of focus agreed by the Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership were identified by analysing the data and local insight. The Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership places high value on using evidence-informed interventions, whilst ensuring that the voice of the community is heard. The Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2025-27 and the Public Health Strategic Plan were considered when identifying priorities for Amber Valley.

Identifying needs of the community (through data and local insight) are key elements of the application process for Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership funding. This is to ensure that interventions are based on evidence of need and are co-produced with communities. Monitoring and evaluation of funded projects and initiatives takes place to ensure projects have the desired outcomes along with informing future workstreams.

The Healthy Ageing project is gathering data in a specified targeted geographical area (identified through local intelligence and an evidence-based approach), to identify current assets/gaps on provision for older people and to identify what initiatives older people want and need in their area. A long-term plan for the development of healthy ageing initiatives will then be developed in Amber Valley, based on the data gathered. Data and intelligence gathered is being shared with system partners to influence future work.

• Causes

There are many factors that influence health and wellbeing and quality of life, and, whilst some can be attributed to individual characteristics, such as sex, ethnicity and age, often, it is the wider (social) determinants that influence and contribute to our health and wellbeing on a bigger scale. These are often referred to as the ‘causes of the causes’ and include environmental factors (such as air quality, transport links, access to green spaces etc.), education, housing, employment status, and money and resources. Clinical care (including access to and quality of health care) only contributes 20% to our overall health and wellbeing. It is the wider (social) determinants of health that have the biggest influence on our quality and quantity of life, and this is where we see the greatest inequalities.

By focussing resources on tackling some of the wider (social) determinants, the Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership will have greater influence and impact on improving population health, enabling the communities in Amber Valley to have healthier and happier lives.

Examples of work undertaken to tackle these wider (social) determinants includes:

Collaborative working by the financial inclusion group to produce a Worrying about Money leaflet that was sent to all Amber Valley households, which aims to reduce financial inequalities by signposting residents to the most suitable support and advice to improve their financial situation.

Through the Amber Valley Community Engagement & Co-production Pilot work in Somercotes, we have identified physical, mental and environmental barriers to walking. Additional work has taken place to introduce a ‘Community Model of Health Referral’ to overcome some of these barriers and work is ongoing with local partners to influence environmental improvements (e.g. improvements in conditions of pavements / street lighting etc).

• Collaboration

Amber Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership has developed a shared commitment from partners to work locally to maximise health and wellbeing outcomes and reduce health inequalities for the population of Amber Valley. Strategic Partners include Public Health, Amber Valley Borough Council, Derby and Derbyshire ICB / Joined-Up Care Derbyshire, Amber Valley Neighbourhood Alliance, Amber Valley CVS, voluntary and community organisations, leisure services, housing, education and children and young people’s services.

Collaborative work within Amber Valley is built on trusted relationships between organisations and communities. The varied skills, knowledge and expertise of partners has led to collaborative projects, including Move More Amber Valley Strategy, Walk Derbyshire Consortium and the ARCH PCN Wellbeing Drop-ins. These projects have been successful due to the strength of collaborative working.

Several partnerships and thematic sub-groups exist, which share priorities, identify assets and gaps and drive work forward to improve health and wellbeing of the population of Amber Valley. These groups include Neighbourhood Alliance, Community Safety Partnership, Community Engagement and Insight Group, Employment & Skills Partnership, Financial Inclusion Group, Healthy Ageing Group, Connected Amber Valley and Children & Young People’s Group.

The Move More Amber Valley Strategy was developed with partners and the wider community through collection of data and insight. This led to key priorities and areas of focus being identified based on data and led by the insight. Work to develop the strategy led to the Community Model of Health Referral which has seen community physical activity classes established in a specific geographical area, taking activities to the people who need them most.
